The Springfield Sliders belted three home runs, collected 13 hits and snapped their seven-game losing streak with an 8-5 victory over the Danville Dans in a Prospect League baseball game at Robin Roberts Stadium Monday night.

Springfield moved to 9-20 in the second half of the season and 14-45 overall. The Sliders will end the 2014 — their seventh in Springfield — at 6:35 Tuesday night with a home game against the Hannibal Cavemen.

Springfield gave starting and winning pitcher Geoff Boylston an early lift Monday by scoring two runs each in the bottom of the second and third innings. With one out in the second, Jake Ingold doubled and Drew Harper cracked a two-run homer for a 2-0 lead.

Will Schneider led off the third with a solo homer off Danville starter Keith Shumaker to make it 3-0, and Dominick Bregar doubled with one out. Bregar made it 4-0 when he scored on Ingold’s single to center field.

Boylston had been cruising until the Dans (12-18, 31-29) touched him for a run in the fifth and two in the sixth to cut Springfield’s lead to 4-3. It led to Boylston’s departure as he walked five and struck out three, but only gave up one hit in 5 1/3 innings. Blake Thomas relieved Boylston and got the final two outs of the sixth.

The Sliders answered Danville quickly with a pair of runs each in the sixth and seventh. Harper led off the sixth with a single and Taylor Carlson hit the Sliders’ third homer of the day, a two-run shot to push the lead to 6-3.

Springfield had three hits in the seventh as Carlson (3-for-4) got his third RBI, a run-scoring single that scored Harper. Ingold finished 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored, and Harper had three hits, scored three times and drove in two runs.

Robert Spath, Ben Krusen and Alex Siddle each pitched an inning in relief as Springfield pitchers combined on a four-hitter.
